From the Darkroom

January 26, 2013

While writing up my next official blog entry, I thought I’d post some photos that I shot, developed, and printed back in the days of the darkroom. All were shot with a Pentax K-1000 camera and a normal 50mm lens.Thanks for visiting!

A photo I took of my brother’s opening at Common Ground in Windsor, shortly after the gallery opened (1986).

No I don’t, Piet. I occasionally curse digital for eliminating film, but then I recall the expense and frustration of working in the darkroom and I realize I’m perhaps being a bit too nostalgic. That said, I’m much more comfortable with film, and digital doesn’t come close to that gratified feeling of having worked for an image.

Actually, I am thinking of experimenting a bit more with film. I’m going to take some shots with old disposable 35mm cameras and see what happens. I really miss my darkroom, though. Lunch would be great.
